The B-25 Mitchell is an American twin-engine, medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. The design was named in honor of Major General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. Most of "J" model's 14–18 machine guns were forward-facing for strafing missions, including the two guns of the forward-located dorsal turret.
